THE PURPOSES OI-‘ RUSSIA. (Front tlie Rufulo Express.)

Every day throws new light upon the purposes of the Russian Government in regard to the im ending struggle, and reveals some new sutures in the deep laid pllans of the sagacious and determined

icholus. The world will begin to learn and understand, as this drama unfolds itself, something of Russian ambition and its far reaching and carefully concealed purpose. The Russian Cabinet, it is well known, has been protesting in the face of Europe, that she was animated by no thought of conquest but was merely seeking to obtain certain religious guarantees for the Greeks of Tur- key. Western Euro was blinded by this decoy, while, it is sai , agents of the Czar, in high stations were sent into the Central Provinces ofthe Em ire, who proclaimed and caused to be wi cly circulated the in- telligenco that war had been decided upon —that the hour for the accomplishment of the destinies of Russia had sti-uck—t|int the Ottoman dominion was about to be brought to a close, and that the glory of the holy empire required that its limits should be ex- tended to the Mediterranean. So says the Journal dc Brute .

It appears that this doctrine was not only inculcated in confidential documents, or set forth in public meetings, but was spread out in phamphlets and lulininiitcd even in the churches of the large cities. Organized bodies, composed of persons of distinction supplicatcd the Czar to break down the barriers which circumscribed the Empire on the South. In the opinions of these bodies it was not suflicient that the Dariu- bian Provinces should submit to the law of the Czar, but the Black Sea must become a Russian lake, a sort of vast ship-ynrd rind arsenal, where Russian fleets could be formed and protected, that should be able to brave all the maritime forces of Europe. For this projectto be realized, it was neces- sary that the Dardanelles should belong to Russia. The Dardnnelles would form an impenetrable barrier, behind which the Russian marine. could in a few years, be increased to a force hitherto unknown in the civilized world. The day when the Black Sea, thus defended, should be trans- formed into it munufactory of sliips of war (this expression is actually quoted from one of their phumphlets, which were gratuitously circulated by thousands) Russia would be spared the trouble of fortifying her ports, and might make a triumphant irruplion into the Mediterranean whenever she chose to do so. A professor at Moscow, in the pay of the government, publicly defended this thesis in the presence of the’ Governor and a hundred other functionaries, and of It nu- merous miscellaneous audience. Appluuded to the echo in three successive lectures, he was aflerwurds promoted to it superior grade, and received it rich present from the government. he merchants of Moscow, subscribed forty thousand francs, partly to be given to the professor, and partly to pay for printing and circulating half 11 million of copies of the lectures. Some of the copies were forwarded to London by Lord Sey-

These facts have been collected by an inielli ent European correspondent of ii. New orlr contemporary, who makes ano- ther curious revelation in regard to the Hungarian Stator Four years ngii when the Russians entered Hungary, the l‘lllll0lll' was spread at Moscow, and was not contra- dicted b the functionaries, that the troops of the Czar would never quit the country. Most ol the Russian oliicers themselves be- lieved that it was the intention of the Czar to appropriate to himself it portion of the Hungarian States. After the submission of the revolutionists, the learned with great chagrin at Moscow an elsewhere, that the Russian armies were about to return with empty hands. Important personegcs such as are never permitted to make a demon- stration dieu neeuble to the Czar, did not hesitate to siipplicnte him not to give way to his natural generosity, they contended that it was easy for him to keep Hungary, to establish himself definitely in Moldavia- and Wallaehia and to throw an army of observation on the Asiatic coast of the Black Sea. Far from being reprimanded by the Czar, these personages met with it gracious reception, and one of them now comman s a brigade on the banks of the Danube. ‘

No doubt can remain that Russia has on- listed in this war with a full appreciation of its character and duration, and has repa- red herself accordingly. From the 24th to the Slith February, I864, all the Russians established in France and England receiv-

tbe formal order to rclttrlt to the place of their legal domicile Several among them soliehed an exception in -their fever, on acount of fiinily interests which required their presence in western Europe. avln rust with refusal, they asked for adela of a few months. This again was refuse , and the refusal was soc nied by an intima- tion thst the, war woo be easier.

THE MORMON DELUSION.

It is no longer concealed to what doc- trines the disciples of Mormonism are con- verted, an into w at practices they are initiated. A theology of blasphemy, and such it. social system as results from a worse than eastern polygamy, are known to be the lending cliaructeristics of the sect and com- munity of Utah. VVe imagine that the number of ersons who have emigrated from the Unite Kingdom to the successive “Zions” and “Stokes ofZion” planted by the Mormonites in the back settlements of America, cannot, from first to last, he un- der 25,000. A single steamer latcly passed up the Mississippi with 800 emigrants on board, who are described in as American paper as being almost exclusively “English or Welsh converts to the Mormon religion and morulity,—or iinmorulity,—and under e guidance of one of the Latter Day Saints, who had been on a missionary tour in Great Britain. " More than liiilfthc num- ber, our American contemporary adds, “were women-—-mostly young nml buxom- looking losses: what were their views of spiritual matrimony we did not ascertain.’

n order to entice several thousands of per- sons every yr-nr away from this country, the Mormonite cinissurics must have 11 consi- derublo stnlfiind on extensive agency. On the census Sunday of l85l their largest at- tendance was l7,000 persons; last year, according to their own statistics, their ud- licrnnts in Great Britain amounted to 30,690, and it has been remarked that one- fiflh of these were oflicial persons, liigli priests, elders, teachers, priests, or deacous. The compiler oftlie Census Report on Re- ligious W0l‘sl|I) nllributes the success of their proselytism chiefly to the prominence in their teaching of the speedy coming and personal reign of their Saviour, and their per-tensions to Church infnllibilily. Besides the latter ofthcsc causes, the Reviewer in

an 5"

the “Edinburgh"ussigns the discontent of

our operatives, expressed by those long “repinings of labour against capitnl,”—thc compactness ofthe Mormonite organization coupled with the great por-portion of ollicittls whom it rccognises,—and its low material- ising theology. To these must be added its mode ‘of applying itselfto the cnrnnl mind its earthly gt-utificutions, and its sensua

icnven. Conscious that it cannot satisfy the longing after what is really spiritual, it pretend to the supernatural instead, to gifts oftongues and mirttcles,—vulgur substitutes but offered to the vulgar. In some ofits aspects the similarity to lrvingism has not escaped the Reviewer, who observes that the English Irvingites, not long after the publication ofthe "Book ofMormon,” sent it deputation to express their sympathy with Joseph Smith. The Mormon recipe for producing an utterance in an unknown ton- gue is 8. very simple ull'uir:-—“Coiitinue to emit sounds of some kind, and the Lord will make it correct tongue or language out of it.” One of the gifled ladies of Mr. Ii-ving’s day went through it more complex process ofself-deception I a bearer assured hcrllint she was speaking Hebrew, which our informant told her she certainly was not; biit some days afterwards, in it private corr- vcrsatioii slfe said to the latter. "Well, I do think there might have been some He- brew in it, for at one time I studied that language." As for Mormon miracles, it is iistonisliinglioiv little will satisfy ti lllltll who wishes to l)t.‘IlC\'C A l.:iitrr lltiy Saint once ti.-'siirctl its tlitit he had soon a iletiil innn rcstoreil to life. “How long dead?" was naturally asked, and the reply was, “A quarter of an hour, or twenty minutes. ” This was most likely a case ofsimple delu- sion, but instances of deliberate and auda- cious imposture are on record. We have been disappointed in lookin for suggestions to prevent the spread of tile immoral and pernicious delusion among those classes who furnish its victims. Popular lectures have been delivered, but in such as we have heard details were introduced which in themselves were greatly to be deprecated. By judicious tracts, personal remonstrances and the recent exposures from the press, to which we make the present small addition, we hope some hundreds of our countrymen and countrywomen may be deterred from seeking a perilous and polluted home near the Gomorrha of the Great Salt Lake.-

‘ This nig t,’ I replied ; ‘ but I should not like to sail till the morning.’ a expressed surprise at'my thinking] could assemble the people so quic y.

‘If you could but do it i‘ said be; ‘but is it possible 1’

‘ My aien, air,’ I replied, ‘ have never yet failed me. They known that I never ask for exertion or self-denial but when the good of the service requires it.’ I went on board, told the truth to the men,who were not on leave, and beds them but out _their iiiessmutea—about eighty seamen and n‘iarinr_.-s—-and get them on board by sunset. At eight in the evening, all but six had returned, and these sent me the following laconic message :- ‘ Tell the captain he knows he can depend on our wor . e will be on board in the morning before the brig is out of the harbour.’ They came on board, just as we were ready to go out.

Wlieu I was first-lieutenant ofthe Queen - lane, on our voyage to Algiers, we had on board six or seven smugglers, a class I have always found to be fine stout men, and good sailors. In those days, smugglers were sentenced. as a pn- iiishment. to serve a certain number of years in "10 D87]. and the orders were to put them in irons every night when the ship was at anchor. l pro- posed, however, to it James Brisbane to put these men on their honor, and to treat them like the others. He did so, and promised that if they behaved well, he would endeavour to procure a remission of their sentence ; and this, in fact, was the result, for their conduct was so good, that the remainder of their sentence was remitted on the return of the Queen Cliarloue to Portsmouth.

During this same voyage, two London thieves were discovered in the ship with all their imple- ments,dark lanterns, skeleton-keys, &c. They were put into irons previous to their being punished, and so continued, until the bombard- ment of Algiers commenced, when some good- iiaiured person released them, and the rogues ran to their guns, and fought like honest man. After the general thanksgiving for the success of our enterprise, there was a general muster on the quarter-deck, the oliicers on one side, and the ship’: company on the other, with the two thieves between them- or Exmoutli addressed the crew in the following words :—-‘ These two Lon- don tliieves I proposed to try by a court-martial, and they were therefore put into irons: It was not my intention to permit them to fight along with honeatmen. I will notiriquire how the got out of their irons, and reached their guns. hey did so; iind now you my lads, shall decide their fate. I will try them by it court-martial. as I pur- poaed, or send them to India in the Mindru, just as you decide.’

‘Den’t disgrace us, air!’ was the prompt and general reply ; ‘send them to Indin’— and to In- dia they went in the Minderi, ticketed as they deserved.

When the action of Algiers was over, the best artist could not have done ‘cause to the scene we were leaving behind us. 'l‘he nine Illgerine ships and the store-houses were still such a mass of flame, that the Mole, and the part of the town nearest to it, were as light as the most splendidly illuminated ball-room; while over the dark-green hills, behind and above the town. a heavy thunder- storm was advancing, the forked li htning render- ing the darkness beyond awful. be storm burst upon us Just as we had anchored, about nine o’clock,we add had gone to our supper of bread and
